Designing the Landscape

An Introductory Guide for the Landscape Designer

Completely updated in a new edition, this highly illustrative and affordable book covers practical points of the design process in a simple step-by-step format--from beginning (the client interview) to end (presentation). This format is concise, readily illustrated to facilitate learning and, most importantly, can be easily applied in the landscape design industry. The book focuses on residential design, although many of the concepts and steps can be applied to commercial projects as well. As each chapter represents a step in the design process, illustrations, photos, and software imaging visually aid the book concepts to further simplify learning. New to this edition is expanded content on lighting.
